About: I have years of both personal and professional pet care experience. I have volunteered at a veterinary hospital and owned multiple pets over the years. I work full time from home and my schedule is flexible around the needs of my day. I have ample opportunity to care for pets. I provide everyday care for my current pet. I also live right next to a park with ample activity space for you favorite pet’s walk!
About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was about 10 years old. Growing up, we frequently had both cats and dogs in the house. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for about 2 years before working there for 1 year. I have pet sat for a family every summer for the last 8 years or so and I also worked at a pet boarding place 1 summer. I'm currently working part-time so I will absolutely have time to take care of your pet! I can stay overnight and take care of a pet, and only work an average of six hours a day so I still have plenty of time to spend with a pet! I spend a lot of time hanging out with and getting to know each pet in order to meet their needs. I can play, walk, and feed pets as well as just be a calming presence if that is helpful for them.
“Risi is a very special person. She cares for our dog, Nella, just like her own. Nella gets so excited to see her. We highly recommend Risi to take care of your fur baby.”
About: While you’re away, I become your pet’s stand-in best friend. I make sure tails keep wagging, whiskers keep twitching, and every cuddle is just as good as home. I work from home, so I’m home most of the time and able to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day with feedings, potty breaks & playtime. Townhome living with a gated, fenced-in space. One friendly Shih Tzu fur baby who loves company. Pets enjoy free roam of the home and are always given attentive care.
“Hailey is awesome- great communication and Ripley loves her already. We were planning on just a couple days of walks but decided to make it a weekly appointment because how well it went!”
“Tia has been our dog walker for long time ago, for pandemic reasons we stopped with services but now she is back to us and we are more than happy. She is genuinely a dog lover, with excellent communication while walking my dogs and attentive to any request. Thank you Tia!”
About: Hi I’m Sarah (: I have taken care of (and have had my own) dog since I was 13. I had a little bunny before that. Many friends and family have asked me to watch and care for their animals. I currently work a job where I travel frequently around Houston but am always home on the weekends. I typically get home around 4-5p on weekdays, but that can vary depending on the schedule that day. When I visit clients homes to take care of their dogs, I always make sure to follow whatever needs and routines that their animal has. I think it’s important to keep their pets in a routine that they’re used to since it can be scary having their families gone.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15, and I have experience taking care of senior dogs, my own dog is nineteen years old. I also have experience with cats, I currently own two cats who are about two years old. I'm currently a graduate student at University of St. Thomas, I have classes on Monday and Wednesday. I will be free any other day to take care of your pets' needs. I would treat the furbaby like their my own, I would follow the client's requests and hopefully ease the anxiety their furbaby may feel by their absence.
“I had booked dog walking with Cambria and I will continue this service with her as she is just great! She is very responsive and gives update during the walk which I love. She shows a love and care for my dog as if my dog were her own and I appreciate that about her. This is my first time using a service on rover and I am happy Cambria alleviated all the worries I had as a first time user. I definitely recommend her to care for your pets :)”
About: As most typical people, I love taking care of all doggies… the bigger the better. Going on walks and playing is just as much fun for me as it is for them. I work base off your dogs energy, if they just need cuddles and pats I’ll give them all of that! If they’re the more energetic dogs that love running around, I’ll be sure to get their energy out before you come home. Spending time and taking care of dogs is my ultimate at peace moment that fills me with serotonin despite your own dogs needs! 🫶🏼 I work from home and only run a few errands on the weekend for a few hours, so my availability is endless. I am also open to having your little furry ones spend the night or two or however many haha! ❤️ I live in a gated community next to a pet friendly park in a safe neighborhood. I can easily walk around my own community to get all your fur babies energy out, but if needed, there’s lots of areas and parks for me to visit nearby as well! At your own residence, whatever you would like me to do I am more than willing in order to ensure your overall trust and comfort while taking care of your fur babies.
About: We can’t wait to meet your furry friend! We are a husband and wife team. Whether you give notice far in advance or last minute, we’re your go-to for dog watching. If belly rubbing and head scratching were a class in college, we would’ve received an A+! We’ve gained experience through years of taking care of our own & other people’s dogs. We’re certified dog trainers and have a keen ability to manage multiple dogs at once. Skilled in making dogs listen through words & hand motions, and we enjoy rewarding great behavior with treats! With every dog stay, we will send pictures and updates on walks, poopy situations, and meeting new dog friends. We can also provide daily exercise if your dog is physically fit. We will go on walks at least 2x/day. Available to accommodate any special needs. Kia works from home and has a flexible schedule so there is plenty of time to spend with your pets! We work together on feedings, walks, etc. We have a fenced yard so there is plenty of room for your furry friends to run around and play, when they are not inside.
“Got caught in a very busy day, and Ashley saved me by coming to walk the baby. She was sweet to my handicapped husband, and had an instant rapport with my little Havanese. I got photos from the walk, and I was freed to attend meetings and run errands at lunch. What a Godsend, thank you Ashley.”
About: I genuinely care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each animal’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with both energetic young pets who need structure and play, as well as senior pets who need a gentler pace, extra comfort, and lots of reassurance. I’m reliable with routines, medications, feeding schedules, and potty breaks, and I always make sure your fur baby feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. To make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable stay, I ask that owners please review a few guidelines: • Pets must be friendly with people and other dogs • Please provide food, leash, and any medications needed during the stay • Let me know about any behavioral quirks, anxiety, or special needs in advance • Pets should be house-trained or comfortable with a routine potty schedule My goal is to create a safe and happy environment for every dog that stays with me. I work remotely full-time, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Your pet rarely won’t be left alone for long, and I can easily keep up with their normal routine. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever who loves meeting new dogs, so your pup will always have a built-in playmate. He’s great with both big and small dogs, so pups of all sizes are welcome here. I have a whole open room just for your pup to relax, eat, and play filled with comfy beds, lots of toys, and even doggy pool days in the summer! Dogs are free to roam and explore 24/7, and I don’t gate them off from each other, so they can make friends and enjoy company whenever they like. I also have a large crate in the house for owners who prefer their pup to have one while I’m away. It’s rarely used (only if requested) so don’t worry, your dog won’t be confined unless that’s what you want. I stick to your pup’s routines and rules (feeding, potty breaks, medications) and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see all the fun they’re having while you’re away.
“Great experience, this was my first time having someone other than myself taking my pup out and Sheila worked with me on easing into getting to know him and getting him in a comfortable mindset. Sheila is very communicative and reliable and was giving updates when walking him, which I def appreciated. I would highly recommend Sheila!”

Just completed our first week with Risi walking Gracie. Gracie had a great relationship with her prior walker, also Rover, which was uncommon for Gracie. She didn’t necessarily enjoy a walk. Well, I can’t say that about her new relationship with Risi. In just a week Gracie visibly is enjoying her time with Risi.
Maria is fantastic!! She was able to handle my two large dogs for daily walks and they absolutely loved her. She was very easy to communicate with, and friendly and personable during our conversations. I’m so grateful to Maria for helping me through a very rough time. She made my two dogs very happy while I could deal with personal issues. Thank you Maria!! Daisy and Chestnut send lots of hugs and kisses
Melody was great. I reached out as I needed a a walker while I was out of town. I asked if she can stop by so that she can meet my baby. And she did just that, even took her for a mini walk to see how it would go. And they both did great. She came by and walked by baby without any issues and kept me abreast of everything. I would highly recommend Melody and will definitely use her again. Melody was great! I reached out because I needed a walker while I was out of town. I asked if she could stop by to meet my baby beforehand, and she did just that—even took her for a little test walk to see how it would go. They both did great! While I was away, Melody came by and walked my baby without any issues. She kept me updated the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Melody and will definitely be using her again.
